iOS 10 Adds More Than 100 New and Redesigned Emoji

Last month, we reported that the Unicode Consortium updated 33 existing emoji to include female athletes and professionals, and created 11 new emoji such as the coder, farmer, and teacher. There had been no word on when they would be released, but now we finally have a timeline.

Today, Apple announced that those, along with 72 other new emoji, will be included with iOS 10 this fall. The company said in a blog post published by the Apple Newsroom, "This exciting update brings more gender options to existing characters, including new female athletes and professionals, adds beautiful redesigns of popular emoji, a new rainbow flag, and more family options." The new options showcased on the Newsroom include single parents and female professionals, as well as girl-boss athletes (which, unfortunately, won't be available until after the Olympics. Sigh.)
